Located in a quiet part of Mykonos and just a 5min drive from one of the island's most beautiful beaches, villa Joplin is a gorgeous 4 bedroom residence that perfectly captures the essence of summer living. The house echoes the island's residential vernacular, its geometric, white-washed exterior softened by rounded edges that lend the structure a worn quality and evoke old island homes. The terrace, protected from the winds by stone-clad walls and paved with terracotta tiles that add to the house's natural feel, is fully equipped with all the essentials: comfortable lounge spots for kicking back and enjoying the setting, a shaded dining space for al-fresco meals, and a free-form pool that hovers above the bay of Lia, offering glorious views of the seascape.

The interior is cavernous yet infinitely bright and airy, with terracotta-tiled floorings and beamed wooden ceilings that highlight the house's worn aesthete. The living areas are outfitted with a collection of modern pieces and time-worn finds, dressed in relaxing tones of white and beige. Tall French windows allow the sunlight in and frame eye-catching seaviews. The bedrooms vary both in size and style, from French-country to colonial-chic to oriental-lux. To maximise privacy, the house's three large bedrooms are divided among a main house and two independent studios. Guests that want to go full-traditional will love the villa's cottage, a shabby stark-white abode of monastic simplicity that offers the ultimately mind-soothing experience.
